A nice round trip hike across Hareidlandet’s highest top while higher mountains were hidden in fog…

Veten on Hidsegga (556m), Aug 17 2021
Taking the newly marked route from Hidsneset (it’s steep!) up to Veten on Hidsegga (Gurskøy island). Upon descent, we headed down the Hidsdalen trail but forked on to Trond Hide’s private route down to his farm. That’s always fun…

Røyrafjellet – on Dimnøya island outside Ulsteinvik – is one of the low-key walks I do when the weather is not too pleasant…

Orkja (948m), Aug 21 2021
Orkja in Jølster is one of my regular hikes when I travel from home to Sogndal. I get to do a close to 1000m top up and down within the hour.
Once in Sogndal, Anne proudly presented the state of her garden. I know she will be proud to see theses pictures…
